Icing on everything but the cake




Thirty Two degrees, plus or minus a half a degree all day. Strange weather we're having. It was a freezing rain at 6:30 this morning with an outside temp of 31.6 degrees. It's rained all day, everything from a light drizzle to pretty heavy, and the temperature never got above 32.5 degrees or below 31.6 for the whole day. If it dropped below 32 we'd start to get ice, then it would drift above 32 and it would start to shrink from the limbs, grass and such. Still a few Sycamore balls hanging on one of the trees in the edge of the woods, so I snapped a picture of it's iced up limbs. My windmill froze to the platform so it's not turning either. I kept expecting the power to go out as often happens when too much ice builds up on power lines, but so far so good. It was a great day to stay inside next to a warm coffeepot.

There you are I thought you must be out there some where. I never thought of it that way before icing on everything but cake. That's a good one Rose

Rose, I'm still out here. Just been really lazy this winter.
Idaho, the ice gave way to snow the next day, but I don't think it gave us more than about a half inch. I didn't have to get out until today (Thrusday), and though it was only about 25ยบ and overcast, the highways were free of ice.
